About the Fill PDF tool
Fill PDF works with real form fields when they exist and lets you type anywhere on the page when they do not, so even a scanned application can be completed neatly.
Fill in the fields of a PDF form directly online, whether it's an interactive form or a plain document that needs text added by hand. It's useful for applications, tax forms, and any paperwork that needs to be completed digitally.
How to fill in a PDF form
- 1Upload the PDF form you need to complete.
- 2Click into each field, or place text boxes if the PDF isn't an interactive form, and type your answers.
- 3Save your entries and download the completed PDF.
Completing PDF forms online
Filling out a PDF form on screen is cleaner and faster than printing it, writing answers by hand, and scanning it back in, and it produces a document that's easier to read and send by email. It works both for interactive forms with built-in fields and for flat PDFs, where you can simply place text wherever it's needed.
Interactive forms recognize each field automatically, so text lines up correctly without extra effort; flat forms require you to position text manually, which still gives accurate results but takes a bit more care. The completed PDF keeps a file size close to the original document.
Your form is uploaded over an encrypted connection and deleted from our servers after processing, and no sign up is needed to use the tool.

Frequently asked questions
Can I fill in forms that don't have interactive fields?+
Yes, for flat PDFs without built-in fields you can add text boxes anywhere on the page and type your answers directly onto the document.
Can I flatten the form after filling it in?+
Yes, once you're finished you can flatten the form so the entered text becomes a permanent part of the document and can no longer be edited as separate fields.
Will checkboxes and dropdown fields work correctly?+
Interactive checkboxes, radio buttons and dropdowns are recognized and can be selected directly, keeping the form's original structure intact.
Can I save my progress and finish the form later?+
You can download a partially completed PDF and re-upload it later to continue, since your entries are saved into the file itself once downloaded.
Does filling in a form change its layout?+
No, filling in fields only adds your entries in the designated spots; the rest of the form's design and layout stay the same.
Is my form data kept private?+
Your document and the information you enter are transferred over an encrypted connection and removed from our servers after processing, with no account required.
